Hi, >> This is a myth. The history of startups shows us that the best >> entrepreneurs were neither mature nor experienced when they started out
[snip] > Adobe's founders were 40+ when they started out. To add, founders of CISCO and RIM (famous for Blackberry brand) were also 40+ when they started out :-) What really matters are self-motivation and passion to succeed by creating value to customers - which in turn would eventually translate to business/growth. Age and industrial experience (or lack thereof) does not set the criteria for running successful businesses IMO - though industrial experience would at best help boosting the self-confidence and much needed support to help create a start-up. > Unless you had a product idea which is simply out of the world, it is > unlikely that VCs will fund inexperienced and/or immature individuals. True, but in my opinion running a company these days with VC funding is like walking on a tight rope - especially if the company was funded much before it reached critical mass in terms of business growth and were not destined for expansion. -- Chandrashekar Babu. http://www.chandrashekar.info/ http://www.slashprog.com/ > > Arun > _______________________________________________ > ILUGC Mailing List: > http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc > _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
